Jews on Rosh Hashannah called "Stupid Bastards" on 'Imus In the Morning'
MSNBC | 10/5/05 | RedRover

Posted on 10/05/2005 11:30:11 AM PDT by RedRover

Did anyone catch Imus in the Morning this Rosh Hashannah morning? One of his regulars said, "What's with you stupid bastards? Don't you know that New Years is two and a half months away?"

I am so fed up with the double-standard about "hate speech" in this country. And, of course, Imus was bashing Bennett just the other day.

Imus didn't call observant Jews "stupid bastards" himself, of course. He has people to say these kinds of things for him. For some reason, this means that the likes of John McCain can go on his show and yuk it up with the I-Man. There is no transcript of "Imus in the Morning", but if anyone else heard this please do as I did and let MSNBC know that anti-semititic speech is hate speech, too. The MSNBC/Imus in the Morning website is at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036713/

Are you saying that Imus hands his partners little cards with jokes on them and when to say them?

I just checked my calendar. News Years is nearly 3 months away.

Don Imus is a total loser - his ratings are horrible. He'll be dead in a few years anyway. Who cares.

Just think if you stop listening to him, he will only have 7 listeners left.

Imus talks that way about just about everybody at one time or another. I doubt he meant it as anything else than another stupid comment.

Why people even listen to him is way beyond me...

You should have your title changed if Imus didnt say it himself, its very misleading.

I reckon that after looking in the mirror every morning, Imus ought to know stupid bastards when he sees them.

Imus should go back on the sauce-anything would be an improvement.

The show is called "Imus in the Morning". If there was a show called "Phantom Lord in the Morning" or "Aft Lizard in the Morning", I'd call you on it, too.

Imus didn't say it and thus your title should be changed.

If a reporter on "The Evening News with Tom Brokaw" said something you didn't like and found offensive and hateful would you run to FR and post "Tom Brokaw said..." when infact he didn't say it?

The title of your post is defamatory and slanderous.

Imus did not say what your title indicates he said.

I hope the moderators clean this up, and you should be much more careful with your destructive accusations in future.

Before he was on TV he used to use voices to say stuff like this so he could get away with it.

I think now he pays guys to say it for him.

See posts 13 and 14. The show is called "Imus in the morning" and thus Imus said it, regardless of who actually said it according to redrover.

I consider them dumb bastards for not wiping the entire PA from the planet and saving themselves a heap of trouble. A well placed tactical nukes on the holy sites will keep the middle east in line a bit.
